But there's also another way: study their web sites and reverse engineer
their success.
The great thing about the Internet is that everything is visible - nothing
is hidden. If it's working for them, you can find out exactly how they're
doing it by studying their site.


Subscribe to their Newsletter and examine their Welcome Message.
Analyze their Newsletter and see exactly how they use it to generate income.

Sign up for their free autoresponder course and find out why it produces
sales.

Check out which affiliate programs they promote.

Read their free eBooks and discover how they bring in new customers.

Here are some examples: (1) Recently I signed up for the Newsletter of
someone who makes $130,000 a year just from affiliate programs. I wanted
to see how he was doing it. What I noticed was that he doesn't even try
to sell the affiliate products - he tells his readers how much he makes
from those programs. Naturally, they join (through his link). The result?
He has an army of sub-affiliates who do the selling for him.

(2) In another Ezine I recently saw a 40 word ad that interested me. I
clicked on the link, and instead of taking me to the home page of the
product, it took me straight to the order form. Very clever, and very
effective.

(3) A few weeks ago I subscribed to a free autoresponder course - 12 daily
web marketing lessons. Many people never finish these free courses. They
unsubscribe half way through. But this marketer made sure that people
finished his course - he announced in the first lesson that the 12th lesson
contained the download link for a very useful free eBook that I wanted.
Naturally, I stayed with it till the last lesson.

(4) Last week I signed up for a marketing guru's 15-day free autoresponder
course and I was amazed to see how easily it had been put together. Each
module was simply a freely-available article by a recognized web marketing
expert, with a sprinkling of affiliate links. To sum up, when you visit
the website of a marketing expert, pay close attention to everything you
see. Ask yourself "Why is s/he doing that?". Everything is there
for a reason. If you make this a habit you'll quickly learn the art of
making money on the Internet.
